Hosea 10:1-3

Complete Jewish Bible

10 Isra’el was a luxuriant vine,
freely putting forth fruit.
As his fruit increased,
he increased his altars;
as his land got better,
he improved his standing-stones.
² Their heart is divided;
now they will bear their guilt.
He will break down their altars
and destroy their standing-stones.
³ For now they will say,
“We have no king,
because we didn’t fear Adonai —
and what could a king do for us, anyway?”
